Customer Reviews
an ordinary childhood - Rated I've been reading this books slowly, story by story, allowing each to reverberate in my mind. Parts, like the elocution lessons and the sense of being different, awake complex memories which in turn interact with the complex layering of the stories themselves. I don't usually like short stories. Often I dismiss them after reading and turn to something weightier. These are insistent and I won't forget. These stories put the ordinary experience of being an intelligent, working class child at their centre. (Many people are intelligent; most are consigned to the margins of British society.) Hilary Mantel is not just intelligent and acutely observant; she may also be the best writer of English prose alive today.
